i'm ros atkins in turnberry on the west coast of scotland. donald trump continuing his stay in the uk with a private visit to his trump turnberry golf resort and as you would expect he did to the course earlier with plenty of company in the form of security but scottish police and there are also some protesters to keep him company who booed him as he went about his round. we have notjust seen protest in turnberry but also people turned out in numbers in edinburgh as well, objecting to the president's visit to scotland and to some of his policies. i'm chris rogers, the other main stories on bbc news: police in wilshire recover more than 400 items and samples in connection with the poisoning of dawn sturgess and charlie rowley, who were exposed to the nerve agent novichok. defeat for england in their third place play off against belgium — as gareth southgate‘s side lose 2—nil. since donald trump became president,
5:01 pm
we can certainly say that a certain weekend routine has emerged. we know the president likes to play golf, he often does that at one of his golf courses in the us. we also know he often turns to twitter across the weekend to allow us to do his thinking on a number of issues he's feeling passionate about. the fact that he's not in america at the moment and is in fact staying in his golf resort here on the west coast of scotla nd golf resort here on the west coast of scotland has not changed that routine. he played golf earlier, teed off around half past one and before he took to the course he took to twitter to lambast certain american networks, calling them fake news, attacking them for their positions during the presidential campaign back in 2016, would you believe? you can also see he got some attention while he was out and about on the course. i was standing by the first fairway about 50 metres away from the president's golf buggy and lots of other golf buggies which had security personnel accompanying him as he went around about his
5:02 pm
game. he waved to protesters at one point, acknowledging their presence and this has been one of the few times on this visit to the uk that mrtrump has had times on this visit to the uk that mr trump has had to come face with protesters. remember when he was in england he went to the palace and visited the queen at windsor castle, he visited the prime minister at her country retreat, but he did not go into central london so he did not meet the thousands of protesters who turned out yesterday. he did they'll meet some of those from a distance by his turnberry golf course and yesterday when i was standing in this spot a protester with a motorized paraglider went over our heads and headed towards turnberry hotel where the president saw that protester a nd hotel where the president saw that protester and his anti—trump signed from a few metres a while. let's bring ourselves with talib at today with all the posttest we have been seeing in scotland. here is quick enough. —— here is katrina. protesters are calling to be a
5:03 pm
festival of resistance and national demonstration. here in edinburgh more than 10,000 people are expected to gather on his second day in scotland. the president had only been at his hotel for about 20 minutes last night. he was out on the terrorist admiring the sunset when in an astonishing breach of security, a protester flew into view, breaching the no—fly zone, getting within yards of president trump. the reaction was to get him indoors, but even that was not immediate. police are still looking for the pilot. as a result of us doing what we did donald trump saw a protester in the flesh instead of having to watch them on television. we thought it was really important. but we did tell the police we were on our way, we gave them a ten or 15 minute warning. more than 5000 police officers are on duty for the president's visit to scotla nd on duty for the president's visit to scotland this weekend and there is a highly visible presence. how could something so serious have happened?
5:04 pm
clearly that with a concern to us and the security around the president and there's no doubt that the individual responsible for piloting that parish of that spirit should put themselves in danger as well as a result of that. there exclusion zone in place the criminal defence to breach that. they will be hoping there'll be no repeat performance of this today. mr trump asa performance of this today. mr trump as a close, personal bond with scotla nd as a close, personal bond with scotland but disagreements over everything from his policies on migrants to her noble energy have led to a touchy political relationship with the scottish government. that's renewable energy. he's not expected to be the first minister this time. the protest that it happened so far don't impress the trade secretary, hoping to forge a free—trade agreement with america after brexit. i don't think the protesters are an embarrassment to the government, i think they are an embarrassment to themselves and i think that when you have the president of the united states, the leader of the free world being
5:05 pm
greeted with signs that say go home, we hate you. i don't think that reflects the genuine, good manners and hospitality of the british people. i think his remarks are frankly embarrassing for a cabinet minister to say that. he lives in a democracy where people have a right to free speech, a right to demonstrate and a right to express themselves. donald trump was out on themselves. donald trump was out on the golf course here and he has described it as one of his favourite places to relax, but inside the hotel he and his senior advisers will be preparing for next week's summit with vladimir putin. a statement from scottish police telling us there have been protests and edinburgh, glasgow and dundee today. they estimate you 11,000 people took part in those demonstrations. yesterday i cannot believe he did not see those pictures of a big inflatable balloon
5:06 pm
in london depicting donald trump as an orange nappy clad baby. that balloon is headed across the border to scotland and made a feature in the protest in edinburgh earlier at a park in the centre of town call the meadows. as you can see he didn'tjust go up, it of course had to be brought down as well which required quite a few of the organisers getting involved to deflate it. there were some people saying they were expecting something a little bigger when his balloon was trailed. i think it measures 20 feet in height, i will let you decide whether that is big, small orjust about where you are expecting. either way it's become one of the defining images of this trip to the uk by donald trump along with that press c0 nfe re nce uk by donald trump along with that press conference yesterday in chequers and the picture of melania trump and donald trump with the queen at windsor castle. there have been protests here in scotland. yesterday there was a sizeable protest in london that the protests have also carried on in london today. richard was there. the huge anti—trump protest
5:07 pm
yesterday where we think more than 100,000 people took part in that demonstration. today has been the turned for some prodrug groups and as you can hear behind me there is a rally going on —— pro trump. it has been going on for several hours in the heart of whitehall, very close to number ten downing st, and these are the pro trump people, and in particular they are supporters of tommy robinson, the former head of the right—wing group... today he's currently in prison over contempt of court, and many of the people here have been calling for him to be released from prison. earlier there was some trouble here as we came in. there are supporters and you get your people were tommy robinson next to us, sorry they're interrupting a little bit. earlier there was some
5:08 pm
trouble, scuffles between two groups, people from the pro trump the borders and anti—fascist groups. the police broke it up very quickly add the situation has been tense but it's back to normal. a reminder that if you get your news from the bbc for your smartphone or through our website you can get analysis from all of the bbc top journalists, john of our that the american or editor, have diplomatic editor have already been sent on donald trump's visit to the uk and you can find them all online at bbc .com/ news. let's continue to look at donald trump's visit through the prism of scotland's politics and economy. the economics professor david belljoins me live from sterling. thank you for
5:09 pm
your time. i wonder as he watched the press conference yesterday between theresa may and donald trump and they reflected on what might be possible in terms of a us, uk trade deal post brexit whether you are reassured. well, i felt that it was somewhat over egg. i really was not convinced that given what theresa may is trying to do in relation to the eu through the white paper that just does not seem to gel with what was being discussed in the press conference where donald trump was arguing that a trade deal would be reasonably easy. and i guess that in pa rt reasonably easy. and i guess that in part this visit highlights the tensions within devolution in the uk and that this trade deal will be negotiated by the government in westminster and to some degree the scottish government will struggle to
5:10 pm
influence how that evolves. well, thatis influence how that evolves. well, that is very true. so, for example all of the devolved countries have a bigger interest in agriculture than does england, so scotland, wales, northern ireland all have bigger interests in terms of agriculture and the culture will be one of the key argumentative points in relation to trade negotiations obviously. the discussion quickly goes on to chlorinated chicken and hormone treated beef, so if the devolved countries don't get a say in the negotiations insofar at least as they affect agriculture, they're going to be quite disenchanted with the process. and in terms of how nicola sturgeon has or has not tried to build bridges with the american
5:11 pm
president or make connections with the american administration, have you read her approach to donald trump —— how have you read her approach, because she has been very critical, hasn't she? she has been very critical. i think that plays quite well to parts of her base, but it is quite difficult because someone has very strong ties to the usa -- someone has very strong ties to the usa —— scotland has very strong ties. it is our largest export market outside europe as a whole in terms of an individual country is the biggest, they are also —— there are also strong ties in relation to migrants who have moved to the states. so one has to be quite careful given that it is the largest economy in the free world. but this raises an interesting point. while there may be political gain for the snp and nicola sturgeon in taking a strong opposition view of donald
5:12 pm
trump, do you think that risks harming scotland's economy and its interactions with the american economy? well, one area which is directly scotland has done very well and has been —— has been foreign direct investment, that is well above its level in terms of how much foreign direct investment it receives other than london scotland tends to be one of the highest destinations for inward investment and america has been the source of a lot of that. so, it is a dangerous route to go down to antagonize the american administration too much. professor bell we appreciate you joining us. thank you very much indeed. let me explain quickly how the last
5:13 pm
24 let me explain quickly how the last 2a hours of donald trump's time in the uk will go. he's wrapping up his round of golf this evening will be a private affair. there is no schedule events for melania trump donald trump. no doubt though the attention of the president will be rapidly shifting away from the uk, us trade deal which has dominated matters for the lapsed today's and moving towards monday, because on sunday afternoon the president's motorcade will go from here on the west coast, not very mart prestwick airport close to glasgow where air force one will take off in flight to helsinki and then on monday the president will meet vladimir putin. there are any amount of things to discuss here, not least the investigations indictment friday at 12 russian intelligence personnel who were accused of actively trying to disrupt the us election in 2016. we have heard very little from president trump as to what he will be trying to save the vladimir putin
5:14 pm
nor what he will be trying to take from that summit. perhaps he will tell us via twitter or perhaps we will have to wait and see on monday. either way the attention of the american administration will now start to shift from the uk, from nato and towards russia. thank you roz with the latest on donald trump's stay in scotland. there is a live page on the website with constant updates from scotland andi with constant updates from scotland and i can tell you the baby balloon has now started to leave the protest their in edinburgh. the former sinn fein president, gerry adams, has appealed for people who carried out an attack on his home in west belfast last night to meet him. an explosive device was thrown at the house. it follows several nights of rioting in londonderry, which police have blamed on dissident republicans. our ireland correspondent john campbell reports. for six nights this week young people from a republican the area of
5:15 pm
derry have attacked the police. the chief constable said they were being directed by a group of violent dissident republicans who opposed sinn fein and the police process. yesterday a rally was held in the city where is sinn fein condemned the dissidents saying they were using young people as cannon fodder, and this may have been the dissidents response will stop a crude explosive device thrown at the west belfast home of gerry adams, it caused damage to a car parked in his driveway. today mr adams called on his attackers to explain themselves. i would like them or their representatives to come and meet me. i would like them to sit down and explain to me what this is about. i would like those who are involved in exploiting children to do the same thing. there was a second attack not far away at the home of another senior sinn fein member though no damage with calls for —— caused.
5:16 pm
dissident republicans are small in number. they've been heavily penetrated by this dirty services and have little capacity to mount attacks, but even here and in dairy so they remain dangerous. john campbell, bbc news, belfast. the headlines on bbc news: president trump's visit to the uk continues, as he plays a round of golf at turnberry. police in wilshire recover more than 400 items and samples in connection with the poisoning of dawn sturgess and charlie rowley, who were exposed to the nerve agent novichok. defeat for england in their third place play off against belgium — as gareth southgate's side lose 2—nil. belgium have beaten england two—nil to finish third in the world cup in russia. it's belgium's best—ever finish at a world cup. this was the two countries' second meeting at this year's competition, following a 1—0 win for belgium in the group stage. ashley john—ba ptiste is in st petersburg for us. harry kane talking to bbc sport in

tight group, and they all stayed together. they must have feared that they were going to die in that cave. yes, because children are not like adults. they cannot control their emotions in the same way. with all the darkness, some of them must have been crying. i think many of them we re been crying. i think many of them were afraid of the dark. what is the first thing you want to —— he wants to do when he gets out of hospital? when he comes out of the hospital i wa nt to when he comes out of the hospital i want to hug him and tell him that i love him very much. and we need to celebrate his birthday and have hot pot for him because that is what you will want to eat, and to have a cake, baked cake so that he is happy. crossing last two centre court on wimbledon for the ladies finals and as you can see —— costing lives. it is angelique kerber was racing towards her family because she has won. serena williams was

5:25 pm
be no other sources of novichok in the natural environment around here. i want to pick up on something you set at the start. there has been an update from the met police which is by leading the investigation into both poisonings, the one in amesbury and salisbury and it said some really fascinating white on the painstaking and dangerous task —— fascinating white, place by officers who have been collecting evidence at the crime scene. the counterterror leaders that it is no exaggeration to say that the search process has been one of the most complex and difficult that uk policing has ever faced and he says that during the past two weeks since the poisoning in amesbury a total of 400 exhibits have been recovered of which a significant number are potentially contaminated and have been passed to scientists at porton down for intensive testing and he praises the bravery and dedication of forensics teens who spend long periods of flying and taking protective
5:26 pm
equipment —— forensics teens. they can only spend 15 to 30 minutes at each of the crime scene because of the risks faced by heat at the auction for the hot weather we have been having. -- heat exhaustion. thank you for that update. much more on the bbc news website. it's taken two years to build at a cost of more than £200 million. now britain's new polar research ship has finally made it in to the water. the rrs sir david attenborough, which was nearly named boaty mcboatface, was launched into the river mersey this afternoon by the man himself. our science correspondent victoria gill has more. 3, 2, 1. launch. years of work leading to this momentous splash. britain's ten—tonne polar research ship afloat for the very first time in the river mersey. it was famed for the public‘s decision to name it boaty mcboatface, but the vessel now bears a far more celebrated name. building the 129—metre rrs sir david attenborough has taken 1 million individual pieces of steel
5:27 pm
and 450 km of wire. and while she's not the biggest vessel to be built here on the mersey, this ship is unique. as well as onboard laboratories for the 60 scientists who will work aboard, the ship has giant, hugely insulated freezers that will contain and keep safe frozen samples from the planet's polar regions. the sir david attenborough is the most technologically advanced research vessel ever built in this country, and because of her size they had to wait for the highest tide to get her into the river mersey, but she's destined for much more extreme environments. this is how the ship will look when the real exploration begins, and the captain himself has had a hand in preparing his vessel for some genuinely uncharted territory. one of the things i was very keen on putting on the vessel was a forward facing sonar, so that gives us an image, a kilometre ahead of the vessel, 3—d representation of the sea bed. so it means we'll be able to go into these places knowing absolutely what is there.
5:28 pm
now ready for its first trip into the water, the ship will spend 25 years as a base for polar discoveries that are yet be made. missions don't get any ambition —— any more ambitious. searching for the origins of life and the secret of the universe. a new project has been unveiled in south africa that could bring some of the answers a step closer. scanning the skies of south africa the key new part of the world's biggest and most powerful radio telescope. 64 dishes collectively called near meerkat billed at a cost of $330 million. they will link up with thousands more across africa and australia. a scientific mega project known as the square kilometre array.
5:29 pm
these are cameras that are taking pictures of galaxies outside of our solar system. yes, and the more antennas we have the better. meerkat aims to help unlock cosmic conundrums from dark energy to detecting extraterrestrial life. it will search the reaches of space, 10,000 times faster than before, and with 50 times the resolution, taking images like this one. a supermassive black hole at the centre of the milky way. 25,000 light—years away. for this, the first image meerkat ca ptu red for this, the first image meerkat captured showing more than 1300 galaxies, only 70 of which were previously known. the pioneering project is pushing the frontiers of science and putting south africa in the spotlight. it is a great day today because we are seeing an instrument that is the best of its kind anywhere, and what that means is people like myself, other people
5:30 pm
who aspire to this can grow up in an environment where they have access to that facility right on their own doorstep. hundreds more telescopes are planned here and in kenya and ghana, expanding meerkat‘s reach still further. they are due to be fully operational in the late 20 20s. an iceberg the size of a hill has drifted close to a small village on the western coast of greenland prompting fears that waves could overwhelm homes there. this has happened before. the village, which has around 170 residents, has been partially evacuated —— it's feared the iceberg could break apart, with waves flooding the coastline. we will keep an eye on any developments there for you but you can see how close it has gotten. it is huge. no iceberg here although we could deal with one. —— we could do with one. there are keith lucas.
5:31 pm
another warm, dry afternoon for much of the country. more called for the northwest and as we head into the evening hours that cloud will produce a few splatters of rain across parts of northern ireland into the west of scotland also. clearer and dry for east of scotland and england and wales, but we will stay dry overnight, perhaps the odd patch of mist and low cloud around the western coast, but temperatures holding up in the mid—teens. muggy and humid field to the weather to start sunday. sunday england and wales dry and sunny once again, scotla nd wales dry and sunny once again, scotland and northern ireland a bit cloudier and the cloud will produce a few outbreaks of rain for parts of northern ireland, to the west of scotland, eastern scotland stays dry for part of that part of the day but in the sunshine and heat further south we are likely to see highs reaching 29 or 30 degrees, potentially looking at the hottest men's final at wimbledon in more than 20 years. things will turn slowly fresher through next week, still from sunshine but a chance of seeing some rain. bye—bye. hello, this is bbc news.
5:32 pm

5:37 pm
australian open, losing the wimbledon final to serena williams between those two. a real dip in form last year in 2017, dropping out of world's top 20 but she is back here and was hugely impressive once again, lifting the wimbledon title. serena williams have been playing so well throughout in what has just been her fourth tournament back since the birth of her first child and subsequent health problems that followed. disappointment for serena williams but begin here from now one reflection. pleased with the way that she has played throughout this fortnight. it was such an amazing tournament for me. i was really happy to get this far. applause it's obviously disappointing but it can't be disappointed, you know. i have so much to look forward to, you know, i am literallyjust getting

5:40 pm
secure their third title and you can see just what it means to them. they area see just what it means to them. they are a great duo when they get together out on court. and they lifted the title once again. as i say, their third wimbledon doubles title. adding to the two that they won last year and the year before that. unfortunately no british interest in the singles. in both the men's and women's but great to see them doing the business in the wheelchair doubles. that is all for wimbledon on ladies final day. another beautiful day here at the all england club. i will hand you back to the studio. we will start with cricket. one nil down they currently have india and in 64-5, down they currently have india and in 64—5, needing 159. jo root scored

5:43 pm
leader who claimed gold for the third successive year. it was brownlee's first race since pulling out of the lead triathlon with the stomach problem. that is all a spot for now but now it is time for the film review. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. they've let me back a second time! i'm very glad. so am i! what have we got this week? it's very interesting this week. first reformed, which is the new film by paul schrader. a return to form, i have to say. incredibles 2, back after all this time, more than a decade since the first one. and skyscraper, dwayne "the rock" johnson versus a very large building.
5:44 pm
so, first reformed, ethan hawke, a return to the screen for him. has he been away a while? no, ethan hawke's fine, it's more to do with paul schrader. paul schrader wrote taxi driver ages and ages ago. god's lonely man was a big thing. he was really well respected film—maker. recently, he's made some quite terrible films like the canyons, which is irredeemably awful, dog eat dog, which i can't even believe was made by paul schrader, and then before that dominion, a prequel to the exorcist. i kind of started to lose faith in him, and now with first reformed my faith in him is restored. so, ethan hawke plays this young cleric who is basically haunted by the death of his son, who he sent off, he encouraged to go off to war, and has now lost. he's having a crisis of faith. he is keeping a diary in which he's writing down personal confessions because he says he can't pray, he's lost his faith. then he meets somebody who is potentially an ecoterrorist, somebody who's become completely obsessed with the despoliation of the planet. suddenly, this captures a spark
5:45 pm
in ethan hawke's character. the next thing, he similarly becomes obsessed with what's happening to the planet from an ecological point of view. here's a clip. so, we should pollute so god can restore? we should sin so god can forgive? i don't think that's what the apostle meant. i think we're supposed to look with the eyes ofjesus into every... you don't live in the real world. you don't. you are a minister at a tourist church that no one attends. do you have any idea what it takes to do god's work? i'm trying... to maintain a mission of this size, the staffing, the outreach, the amount of people we touch each day. who's that priest that you like so much? thomas merton. he didn't live in the real world either. yes, he did.
5:46 pm
he didn't, he was a monk who lived in a monastery in kentucky and wrote books. somebody has to do something! it's the earth that hangs in the balance... what if this is his plan? what if we just can't see it? you think god wants to destroy his creation? he did once, for 40 days and 40 nights. it says something about me that i refer to him as "young"! so, basically, it's a story about a crisis of faith and what then happens as a result. ethan hawke i thought was brilliant. i completely believed in him, i really believed in his character. the most important thing is it felt like schrader was back on home territory. he is dealing with themes he's dealt with since the beginning of his career. there's a couple of scenes in which we see ethan hawke writing his diary, he has a glass of whiskey on one side and he's writing and he's very, very tormented. this apparently is how schrader himself used to write. the look of the film is very sparse, it reminds you to some extent of dry, of something like pawlikowski's ida. i know that schrader has spoken to that director about making that film. it looks heartfelt, it looks passionate,
5:47 pm
it has none of the nonsense of dominion: prequel to the exorcist, which was theoretically a theological work, but which was absolute hooey. it really feels sincere, it's dealing with important issues, it's got a great central performance. it's schrader back on form. i think it's the best thing he's done since auto focus. it's not a bunch of laughs, but it is very, very intense. it has some hallucinatory moments in it. i thought it was a really fine piece of work, and i would happily watch it again. it looks beautiful... it is. ...the way it is designed. how difficult to watch is it? well, ifound it easy because i thought "this is great, he's back on form." it's not a huge blockbuster, but it's a film in which the form of the film mirrors the subject matter of the film. it is a film about an existential crisis of faith, which obviously isn't blockbuster territory. i think you would like it. something very different, incredibles 2. they've made us wait a very long time for this sequel. i know, 13, 14 years.
5:48 pm
did you like the first incredibles? i loved it, i watched it many times. so, i was sceptical about the first one. i was wrong about it, incidentally. i said in my review that i didn't think the kids would get on with all of the birdmanesque stuff. i was proved completely wrong! anyway, so along comes incredibles 2. when incredibles came out on dvd there was a short which was jack—jack attack, which was all the stuff about the baby. i thought it was hilariously funny. in incredibles 2, which picks up the story, there is a lot more jack—jack. the story is they are still trying to rehabilitate supers. so, elastigirl is basically roped in to a lot of pr stunts to make supers popular with people again. mr incredible is left at home looking after the kids, having to help dash with his maths homework, having to help his daughter with her first crush. but, it is the baby jack—jack stuff that is really funny, in the same way that in the despicable me movies the minions started out as sidekicks, and ended up being centrestage. here, jack—jack started out as a sidekick and ends up being centrestage. i started laughing about five minutes in and i laughed all the way through.
5:49 pm
it looks fabulous, as you can see. all those future retro ‘60s inflicted designs look great. and i am happy to admit that i was completely wrong about the first film. a new foe in this, is there? there's lots of new stuff. the most exciting thing is the stretchy cycle, the elasticycle bike, which when she first gets on it she goes "it's talky, it's very talky." i've even managed to strong—arm a teenager to go with me and see it this week. i think anyone can enjoy it. that was my excuse, anyway! skyscraper, how can you go wrong with dwayne "the rock" johnson? dwayne "the rock" johnson is basically a security systems specialist. he's brought in to sign off on the tallest structure in the world. his family come with him, they are one of the first families to stay in the penthouse at the top. then, of course, evildoers come along, set fire to the structure, so he has to break into the building to save them, and breaking into the building is harder than it looks. here's a clip. hands up!
5:50 pm
0k! don't shoot! i know, turn around! edge of your seat stuff. i thought it was. for a start, i'm scared of heights, anyway. there's a bit when they've got to climb over a plank that's balanced vertiginously over a big fiery pit, and all that stuff always really scares me. here's what i like about it. firstly, i really like dwaynejohnson in everything.
5:51 pm
everyone always says he's lovely, but on screen he's great. a colleague of mine said he made a movie once in which he had to do a fist bump with a 60 foot gorilla. somebody said, "i'd like to see daniel day—lewis pull that trick off!" you believe in it, because you believe in the rock. there is a setup at the beginning in which we see him combat training, in which he loses the bottom half of one of his legs. he has a prosthetic leg, which he then uses as a tool to help him with this impossible mission. did you ever see towering inferno? oh, yes. ok, well, towering inferno is based on two books. it was based on the glass inferno and the tower. die hard was basically towering inferno with cowboys and indians. this is basically the rock meets die hard, or, get this, "die rock hard"! see what i did there?! i thought it was really good fun. it was really silly, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever, but i did enjoy it and an awful lot of that is down to the fact that he is such a likeable screen presence. there's even a lady from shanghai at the end of it for the cineastes, to keep them happy. it was real popcorn, leave your brain at the door and enjoy yourself entertainment. is it too sniffy of me to suggest that it's more about special effects than character and plot development?
5:52 pm
honestly? and you're going to have to believe me on this. it's about dwayne "the rock" johnson. that's good enough! now, the best out, leave no trace, you've reviewed this before. yes, i have, and i keep going on about it. it's a small release, i think it's the best film i've seen this year. it's directed by debra granik, who directed winter's bone, which i love. that was the film that really launched jennifer lawrence. father and daughter living off the grid outside portland, oregon. they are found by the authorities and they have to reintegrate into society. the thing i love about it, i keep saying the same thing, it is a film in which the characters don't explain themselves. they don't stop and stand around and talk to each other. it's a film that's to do with emotion conveyed through physical gesture. the performances are fantastic. thomasin mckenzie, whose the young girl in it, it's just brilliant. people have made the comparison with her and a young jennifer lawrence. she is fantastic. i just thought it was wonderful. if you see one film this year, this is the best thing i've seen this year, and i guarantee it will break your heart.
5:53 pm
the idea of them coming in from the wilderness and living in society again, is that the thing that is explored? yes, and it's to do with what he wants and what she wants, because he's a combat veteran, he's got ptsd. it's to do with... there's a moment when she says "what's wrong with you is not what's wrong with me," and it's really about them growing apart as father and daughter. there's the tempest in the background of all of this. the shakespeare idea of the tempest is in the background. i loved it. you'll love it, i promise you, you'll love it. that's always my approach. not what's wrong with me, what's wrong with you. that's always the way i approach the world! he laughs. best dvd, then. tomb raider. this is the alicia vikander iteration. it is. i never liked the tomb raiders before with angelina jolie, and i'm not somebody who has ever played computer games. i thought this was much more fun than it had any right to be. i think alicia vikander was terrific, and it's a reboot, it's an origin story. as somebody who isn't a gamer and doesn't know that world that well,
5:54 pm
i thought it was gripping and good fun. the reason i included it is because there are so many terrible video game adaptations. video games don't generally transfer very well to the screen. i also liked assassin's creed with michael fassbender. i know not everybody else felt the same way, but i thought they made a nice double bill. it was trying to do something new, and i thought she was really good, i thought she carried it rather well. mark, thank you. a quick reminder that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online, bbc.co.uk/markkermode. you'd think i'd know it by now, wouldn't you?! and you can find all of our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. mark, thank you so much. that's it for this week. thanks for watching. goodbye. after thunderstorms invited a
